Create AI agent for api-testing (data manage module)

[LinuxSuRen]

This is a proposal for OSPO 2025.

atest is an open-source API development and testing tool. It supports Restful API, gRPC for now. It allows users to make an HTTP request and verify it in a simple way or advanced way. It's not easy for everyone to remember all kinds of useful usages. Considering AI now has the great power to understand the user requirements and take action. The AI agent should have the following features:

• Users could input their requests on the web page, and they can receive the result
  • For example, user A types 'I want to search which users have been disabled'
  • Agent will try to understand that, then return the SQL
  • User A could copy or click the confirm button to execute the SQL
• Agent should be able to support at least three types of databases
• Agent should be an extension of atest
• Agent should be published as a Docker image
• Agent should support a local deployment of AI and online service

Developers should meet the following requirements:

• Well-documented
• Enough testing (unit test, e2e)

Status

• Potential interested students: 11+5
• Applicants: 5
